摘要： Standard solderless connectors extend from a molded package body supporting at least one high power LED. The package includes a relatively large metal slug extending completely through the package. The LED is mounted over the top surface of the metal slug with an electrically insulating ceramic submount in-between the LED and metal slug. Electrodes on the submount are connected to the package connectors. Solderless clamping means, such as screw openings, are provided on the package for firmly clamping the package on a thermally conductive mounting board. The slug in the package thermally contacts the board to sink heat away from the LED. Fiducial structures (e,g., holes) in the package precisely position the package on corresponding fiducial structures on the board. Other packages are described that do not use a molded body.

摘要： Improved optical devices and methods transmit optical images along elongate optical paths with relatively limited cross-sectional dimensions using an improved objective, relay, and ocular systems. In a first aspect, at least one intermediate image formed within an optical component, rather than being formed in a gap between optical components. In a preferred embodiment, a first intermediate image is formed within glass of the most proximal objective lens, with the first intermediate image extending axially along a curved image location within the glass. The last intermediate image may similarly be disposed within a distal lens of the ocular system. By making use of a first and/or last intermediate image disposed in this manner within a lens, endoscopes can exhibit a significantly larger Numerical Aperture than known endoscopes having similar cross-sectional dimensions. In a second aspect, the ocular system allows independent adjustment of diopters, magnification, X-Y positioning, and rotation orientation of the captured image while introducing minimal aberrations.

摘要： Optical micro-modules include an integrated lens holder and microlens for passive coupling of optical signals into an optical fiber. The microlens includes a mounting surface and a curved section having an optical axis. The microlens curved section may be an aspheric silicon lens. The microlens mounting surface is attached to the lens holder mounting surface such that the microlens optical axis is centered with the optical fiber and aligned at a desired focal length from the optical fiber. The lens holder may, for example, be either in mechanical communication with a cable receptacle or be attached to a submount that has a silicon v-groove thereon for receiving an optical fiber. The optical micro-module may be part of other optical devices, for example a transmitter optical sub-assembly or a receiver optical sub-assembly.

摘要： A transceiver and assembly process is provided to passively align a lens within a transmitting sleeve of a duplex port assembly with a light emitting component within an insert molded package during the assembly of the transceiver. The transceiver design and manufacturing process allow for pivoting of the receiving sleeve around a substantially common access such that a light detecting component may be actively aligned with a lens included in a receiving sleeve of the duplex port assembly.

摘要： A holographic demultiplexor for filtering and spatially positioning individual optical channels, wavelengths, or sets of wavelengths. The holographic demultiplexor includes a volume hologram that includes holograms for redirecting wavelengths included in a light signal. A diffraction grating linearly disperses the light signal and the individual holograms included in the volume hologram spatially reflect the one or more wavelengths back to the diffraction grating as specific angles. The volume hologram spatially reflects the one or more wavelengths such that they are dispersed in two dimensions. The diffraction grating then reflects the two dimensionally dispersed wavelengths to a two dimensional detector array. The detectors of the detector array for adjacent wavelengths can be interleaved to reduce interference. Alternatively, the volume hologram can redirect sets of wavelengths directly to the detector array and the light is not linearly dispersed by a diffraction grating first.
